IMPROVING PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS (TB) OUTCOMES: Investigating Novel Adjunctive Immunotherapies And Addressing HIV-TB Co-infection In Papua, Indonesia

Summary
Tuberculosis remains a major regional and global problem, especially in resource-limited settings such as Australia’s northern neighbours. Three key challenges are to make TB cure easier by shortening treatment, improve HIV-TB co-infection management, and tackle drug resistance. We address these issues in Indonesia’s Papua Province, where we are testing whether simple supplements given with TB treatment might accelerate cure; improving HIV care in people with TB, and detecting drug-resistant TB.
